my ek's e-brake on the driver's side sticks at cold weather. what could be causing this? one day i didnt know it was engaged and drove for 7 miles scraping the tire. thank god i was driving on snow instead of bare pavement. but i would like to get this fixed. anyone else have this problem with their ek?

 

maybe the snow froze it

 

thats what im thinking but what? is there a spring that pulls the ebrake when i disengage? it sucks cuz i hate parking without the ebrake but if i do i have to bust out my hair blower
